In most areas you can disable it. I reiterate MOST. The Illinois Bell way is
*70 before the phone number (from a touch tone phone. There is a way to do
it from rotary, but I can't remember it). You can check the phone book or
call your service rep to find out for sure if you can disable it and exactly
what you dial first. 

ex: trying to call 123-4567. To disable FOR THIS CALL ONLY: *70 123-4567
